Apisto behavior

So total in my 125 had 3 apisto one caucatoides pair and one male agasizi.

Well I can still see the agasizi, but beyond once yesterday I have not seen the other male and no idea where the female is, aside from that they are becoming very reclusive, normally they were actively out during feeding, but almost never see any of them now. should I be worried? haven't seen any corpses... And have not seen any dead fish on the floor....

I don't know the water params past it being 82 degrees, I can say however all my discus are doing great..

They may be breeding. Females will go poof for a week and then show up with kids.

That's the puzzling thing. He may have been whipped be the aggassizi and is in hiding. Or, he may be an ultra helpful dad and is helping mum.
How long have you had them? Did you qt? What was the source? Even if the female is on eggs, you should see the male.
he got the pair from me my pair has been doing great they are in theyre second batch of babies, i think you should add some driftwood in both corners so that both males call one side of the tank as theyre territory and the confrontation become less likely lmk if you have found them please

there is drift wood in both corners and just saw the male maybe two days ago but no sign now :(

They have been in the tank, what over a month now?

Mystery over... The drain system on my tank that siphons water outside.... Well someone knocked the strainer off (most likely my huge bn plecco) and unlike my loach I did notice anything out of the ordinary and found him outside.

Very disappointed and upset with myself right now. no idea how long the strainer has been knocked off, but will be correcting that immediately
